In depth
Technical writing on password security, hardware authentication, credential attacks, and practical defence for individuals.
Fundamentals
Why length beats complexity, what the bit count actually measures, and how to interpret entropy figures against real attack scenarios.
Practical guidance on creating, storing, and managing strong credentials without getting in your own way.
How pseudo-random and cryptographically secure random number generators differ, and why it matters for password security.
The case for password managers, how zero-knowledge vaults work, and what happens if the provider is breached.
Hardware security
Threats and attacks
